trying to collect some water...

see how tiny i am VS the water "fountain"

Tell me...why do kids all love water play?!

but sometimes don't like taking a bath??

hehe...

bathtime must be as interesting loh...

I am fully 17th months old and soon to be 18th month...1.5 years old!!

Today's blog will be a full update of al recent photos and activities and progress!!!

Eversince I have been introduced to Macdonalds' French Fries, I can't help loving it. :)

Even when I see the macdonalds print ad on the newspapers, I will say "mum mum mum mum" and try to eat the fries on the papers... ... :D and the sour unbearables gummy bear sweet....whenever mummy gives me one, i cant stop having somemore.... :D

So adults pls remember...in general, we kids eat what we are introduced to when young until we develop our personal preferences knowingly... ...

Last month, I finally went to the indoor playground but not the "GO GO BAMBINI" at Dempsey. Mummy brought me to one located in the Orchid Country Club. Well, it was fun anyway. Together with my cousins Jared and Ines, we played for about an hour plus there during the last week of their JUNE school holidays. (i will try to upload some of these pictures real soon.) I really look forward going again!!!

Did I previously mention that Mummy tries to give me 3 solid meals a day these days.

A typical day... ...with no special outings or so... ...

I usually wakes up at 6 to 7plus am for my first milk milk of the day 180mls.
Then I go back to sleep till probably 8plus and starts playing on my own or I will bring my 2 favourite big story books, "Goldilocks and the three bears", "The Gingerbread Man" to mummy and fuss her to read to me, afterwhich Mummy will try to flash me some flashcards.

At about 9plus, we will go downstairs, brush my teeth, take my fish oil(Yu Gan You)..and a bottle of my favourite Ribena drink! Then Mummy will make me my Oatmeal cereal breakfast and feed me while I watch a DVD of my choice, sometimes the more educational like Baby Bright, Luli etc, sometimes the entertaining ones and mummy will tell me what is going on...like Thomas the Train, Finding Nemo, Ice Age etc. After that we usually goes for a short stroll exploring the outside world and comes back for my bath. We will play some toys or I will just walk around and play on my own. By then about 1plus PM, I will take my lunch usually Macaroni soup or what mummy takes for lunch like fish soup etc plus a small 120 mls bottle of milk milk, then off for my afternoon nap.

Generally I take my afternoon nap from 1plus to 4plus or 2 plus to 5 plus.

When I wake up, mummy will give me some water and fruits...and depends on what time I wake up, I usually do drink a small bottle of 120mls milk. Then we go upstairs to have a short play session & Mummy will try to go through some flashcards with me...Then it is either stroll time to playground to play, or toys playing time or I will self entertain by walking up and down trying to play with the things the adults use...

6 to 6plus I will take my dinner usually rice with soup or whatever the family eats... ...
usually from 6plus to 8plus(at least) is my Rest & Relax Family Bonding time... Sometimes I go to the supermarket or night stroll with Mummy & Daddy or Grandpa and Grandma. Then I take my bath.

Before bedtime (well I usually sleep only at 11plus pm, which mummy doesnt like, so she is trying to make me go to bed earlier at 8plus or 9pm, so I got to be in the room latest by 830pm), I got to brush my teeth then take my milk milk 240mls. Once settled into the room, mummy will flash me some flashcards then read me some stories...usually my big storybooks plus the recent addition or chinese story books. After which, sing some nursery rhymes with me and play some toys then I go to sleep.

Notice we missed out the morning and night music session? All because the player has been down for a while and Mummy hasn't send it for repair yet... ....

And during weekends, it will be a little different, cos I get to have my outdoor bathing sessions after a messy coloring or painting session!

Anyway NOW I officially have a DiDi and not the Mei Mei Mummy was looking forward to...so she will have to think of a name...cos Mei Mei already had 2 chosen names on standby le mah...LEANN SEAH or ZOIA SEAH. So after some checking, Didi still doesn't have other name to choose from other than AYDEN SEAH. Very likely he will really be AYDEN SEAH.

:D
Soon I will have a DiDi to play with!!!

Mummys / Mummies? are Wonderful!! & Babies are Amazing!!

Peel an apple or grape off its skin... that's what mothers will do for their kids.
I munch my apple as it is...peel the skin?!
You must be joking... ... yah but I did that for my baby Asher... ... haha
and this is just ONE of the many things. Like I sacrifice my shopping for his subconsciously...
it is all about buying things for him these days...

And babies...oops, he is a toddler le... well anyway, he is so amazing. If you didn't peel the skin, as he bite, he will still spit out the skin... :P

He learns pretty fast...that's why they always say babies learn amazingly fast.
Cos' they are focus and determined?? no money woes?? hahahaha

I am trying to teach him to express himself since he can quite say "Yes, No, don't want (mai) and others etc..."

When you see him standing at a corner with an awkward expression and doesn't want you to come near him, chances are he is trying to pass motion...Ask him if he is shitting "uh-uh?" if "uh-uh" squat down....he will squat down at times...

He is calling Mama, Papa, Popo accurately. Except Gong Gong...he will call Thor Thor... :O?

Ask him... ...

"how do you cry?", he will gently rub his two hands on his eyes and whines

"how do you laugh?", he will open his mouth and give you a wide laugh for that 2 secs and haha.

"beat Mosquito"(da wen zi!), he will clap his two little hands together hardly!

"hug hug didi..." he will hug my bulging tummy... :P

I like it especially when you ask him if he wants something or wants to do something, if he doesnt want, he will shake his head and say "mai"...i find it soOOoooOo cute...sometimes even the body shakes along...HAHAHAHHAH

Oh...and we like to "play dead-BANG!" with him too..."shoot" him with a toy gun or an imaginative toy gun using your fingers, he will "ah...." and fall down slowly to the floor and act like he is dead..so CUTE right?!!!! And he is so clever...he will do the same to us too!! Of course we will have to play along...

Hiyah....so many so many I wish I can document all down...but really it is tough. hehe

These are some of my recent photos, will be uploading somemore soon...

Goodnite!!

Finally my post for June!!!

Sorry guys, mummy has been lazy recently. So not much blogging, though I had promised earlier to resume like before...



By right, with so much lower sales volume at work now, mummy should be much more free to update my blog. But unfortunately, mummy is one who works better with a jammed pack schedule...knowing she has no time to spare...so, mummy please get back to working like before, then maybe we will have more updates...not that she is damn free now, but work schedule is not as tight as before...of course these days because I have developed into a super active toddler, most of the attention and time all spent on me. ;p

My bathtime earlier this morning...

These days I try mimicking drinking from a cup and bottle like the adults..

Attached a bonus video clip taken during my bath time....enjoy!!

mummy's voice: it seemed I am getting lazy to maintain this blog

mummy's not as efficient as before..
it seemed lame to blame it on the user unfriendliness of blogger...but somehow it is it that puts me off blogging with pictures these days... hmmm...but well i will try to improve!!!!!

my baby Asher is no longer baby....big boy le sometimes I feel...
i love every bit about him...except the times when it is so difficult to dress him after his bath....
somehow he likes running around naked...doesnt like to put on his diapers, doesnt like to wear his clothes...he struggles to get away...unless I have his milk or juice bottle there for him...
are all babies like that?

My Dearest Baby Asher...
he signals you to come to him when he wants your help...
he comes over to pull your big hand with his little hand when he wants you to follow him somewhere...
he shows you the TV when he wants to watch his DVDs...
he shows his excitement when the DVD starts...
he dances when HI-5 is on
he runs to the TV to watch his fav commercial upon hearing the music
he pats, hugs & kisses, waves at your request...
he throws his diapers away into the bin on his own...
he runs to the bathroom when you tell him its bath time...and he cant wait to get into the tub..
he explored "crayons coloring" & "poster colors painting" recently and enjoyed it...
he climbs into the stroller or gets his shoes and bring them to you upon hearing "gai gai"..
he brings the keys to the lock for the gate or door for you to open...
he ransacks the kitchen cabinets to get the bowls out and strikes them together like musical symbols...
he runs to the door or gate when you tell him "so-so is back" or "who is back?"
he waits to climb into the car when we walk past my car, hoping to go for a ride...
he wants to help to carry things after a trip to the supermarket...
he tries to kick and bounce the big colorful beach ball...
he reaches for the book he wants you to read, bringing it to you or flipping through it on his own..

and so many more.... .....

Hey I am back blogging!!!

Sorry blog and guys, I have been lazy!! Heheh...so my first post for May...
By the way, any idea how to migrate my blog to WORDPRESS?? is it possible??

So I have been spending alot of time playing... ...
Exploring colors of the world...with crayons, poster color...water play my weeky affair these days...

Cousin Tiffany started coming over daily since last week... ...so we play together in the day time...its good that I have a playmate...but will it be overcrowded when there are 2 babies plus us (2 toddlers) here by the end of the year when my DIDI/MEIMEI comes??

Anyway, I have been uttering more words of recent...i can say Apple, Orange, Daddy, mama, papa, XIE XIE....etc but sometimes a bit off lah my pronounciation...

Mummy loves it when I react to her commands and instructions...like throwing my diaper into the bin on my own, picking up stuffs and passing it to whoever requested, kissing, wave goodbye, hug hug etc... ...

Some of my recent pictures... ...will try to load more this 2 days...

mummy asked me to "wink my eyes"

and I did at first try!!! She is so pleased... :)

Mummy and PoPo brought me to stadium walk walk after our dinner...
